wow my 3414 died checked the normal reasons , noticed the coil was hot real hot. was putting out small spark, moments later wires going to at from it burned right up. smoke also coming from dis. checked points. plastic parts of points melted also. points and condenser were about 3 wks old. the 3414 was converted to 12 by preveous owner yrs ago. he didnt use a resister, used a ford coil from a junk yard. not sure of voltage. i tried to put the old points back in and started the melt down again. i bought a new coil with built in resister from napa, (ic14) waiting for new points to come in .
points of interest he ran a wire from bat to a on off switch, from there to positive on coil. he didnt run any wires from the #1 terminal at the alt.
one more thing, can i remove the ammeter and replace it with a volt meter. how would this affect wiring??
